“We’re also excited to show you all of the improvements we made and continue to make prior to opening day.”

For those unfamiliar, the Toptracer System is one that golfers can use to obtain information about various elements of their golf swing and stroke.

You will receive important figures on swing speed and take-off angle as well as information on your ball flight such as speed, distance, height and much more.

While it’s a great tool for leveling up your game, it also makes the range experience a little more fun for groups as you can have the longest drive with your friends or get the closest to pin competitions.

Toptracer technology is becoming increasingly popular at many driving ranges around the world, but is best known as the product behind Topgolf.

<p dir=Topgolf is a steadily growing global sports entertainment company that has huge driving ranges worldwide thanks to Toptracer technology.

At Topgolf, you can bring food and drinks to your driving range stand, watch the big game on TV while you hit the balls, and much more.

Whether this type of entertainment will come to KDR along with Toptracer technology is unknown, but KDR announced to KelownaNow that more information will be available next month.
